Two Leviathan dreads and three Firestrike Turrets. Next up on the plate is ten Farrow Brigands, their unit attachment, and Rorsh and Brine. That's a fairly large block of work, but it's the last few things that I owned at the start of the year. It's not really defeating The Pile of Shame but it's a symbolic victory

Cool and effective scheme. That is a nice chunk of shame removed

30 Persian Archers done, and all their infantry is now finished. Also, completed the light cavalry units.



The last thing is about 12 heavy cavalry troops and the Persian army is done and backlog is back to 0.

I finished up my last Persians, bringing my Pile of Shame to 0 models.

I will probably be taking a short break from painting until the new year. So, for 2023 I finished 345 models, with 220+ being 28mm; the rest being smaller scales.

However I finished the following big projects:
1. Two Trireme Fleets
2. Communist Air Force- Korean War
3. USAF - Korean War
4. Dark Age Irish Army
5. Ancient Persian Army

Last update for this year. I finished my Oathmark, and Scythian armies! I've started work on my Arab army, but I'm counting it, and the extra minis I ordered for it for 2023.

Done:


In the end I painted 232 Infantry, 100 cavalry, 10 Characters, 7 Monsters, 2 Catapults and 4 chariots. As well as 32 Infantry started last year but finished this year.
Purchased 68 Infantry, 5 Cavalry, 7 Monsters, 2 Catapults, 10 Foot characters, 3 Mounted characters. Some for my Oathmark Humans, which I painted, others for an Undead army, that never got started.

From my start of year goals I managed to complete 4. 2 big projects, and 2 small ones.

Pontic (Finish off) - Complete
Scythians - Complete
Roman Slave Revolt
Gauls
Huns
Arabs - 2023!
Oathmark Fantasy - Complete

Minor Additions:
Sassanid Persians - Complete
Macedonian Successors- Partial
Carthaginian

Congrats on defeating The Pile!

Finished that squad of Brigands and Rorsh & Brine this evening, so at least The Pile that I started with is finished. No way I get anything else knocked out before midnight, December 31st, good luck to anyone else trying to beat the clock on those last few models.

Update with just a few days to go...

KoW Northern Alliance army. Very little further progress on the planned 1500 pt army; just a bit of work on the Blood Rage Viking minis, and some repairs.

For F28:
Five chaos space marine bikers
One chaos lord biker
-- very nearly finished

One space dorf airship (converted toy)
-- this is mostly built but I'm still wrapping my head round some of the more complex aspects.

One space dorf land train (bought as a 3D print)
-- built, primed, and painted (and in the pic below).

One space dorf drill vehicle (converted toy)
-- conversion finished, primed, and painted (and in the pic below).

At least two squads of space dorfs
-- a lot more than two squads built and primed, and a fair few more finished other than basing (and in the pic below).

Space dwarf army so far is below -- more detailed pics on my P&M blog.

Pile stacked for next year:
60 bolt action japanese (built but unpainted)
16 frog slann blood bowl team (primed)
3 quar cavalry (1 painted/ 2 primed)
Hit the Beach starter for Flames of War (might hold in reserve for a few years until grandsons are ready)
8 models for Underworlds original starter still new in box

I made a new thread for this year: https://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/808270.page

And, I did finally finish my six chaos bikers late last year --

Yay, I didn't have to start it this year!

Also, congrats on sliding one more finished unit in under the wire.

Despite losing October, November, and almost all of December I did shrink my pile of shame with 78 models finished in 2022.
